The reason you’re waking up in the middle of the night is the second glass of wine.

Nora Ephron, “What I Wish I’d Known.” From 3:30 to 6:30 this morning, these words haunted me. Is it possible to be annoyed with a dead person? Cause it really annoys me how right she was about that.

I was so good last week! So clean! And then this weekend it all went out the window … meals at DBGB and Acme … cocktails at Jo’s and Dram … a craft gin Martini Bowl (I mean!!) … and then the icing on the ice cream cake, the Tumblr Super Bowl party last night. It was at Brooklyn Brewery so I thought, oh, I won’t really drink, I don’t even like beer … but it turns out their Irish Stout is a dead ringer for Guinness! And I DO like Guinness.

And then tonight Chef Dave is teaming up with Chef George Mendes and Chef Sean Brock (!!!) for the “Supper Bowl” at Louro. And M. is making a special corn milk cocktail for the occasion…. 

Enough with the Bowls already!

This was supposed to be Health Month. 

To slaughter the words of a wise Irishman, over-indulgence is a nightmare from which I am desperately trying not to wake.

And yeah yeah, Ms. Ephron. I know I have no one but myself to blame. It’s just.so.tempting….
